Printer Redirection to Remote Desktop Server

Hello everyone, thanks for any help on this issue. We are running Server 2008 R2 with remote desktop. Our OS X users, a mixture of 10.5 and 10.6, connect with the remote desktop connection client for mac. They are using version 2.0.1 (090714).
We find that not all printers redirect once connected however some do. Currently we haven't found any differences, apart from the printer model that might cause this. Windows clients will redirect the same printers that do not redirect from OS X. Are there any guidelines around that show requirements for a printer to redirect from OS X to RDS 2008 R2?
Thanks again for any help
Mike

Hi we're seeing similar issues here but in our case none of our printers show up on the 2008 R2 Server when we connect from a Mac but they all show up when connecting from a Windows Box. Furthermore, the same Mac has its Printers show up fine when connecting to a Win 2003 R2 Server. Have you made any progress at your end?

Default acrobat xi pro send mail to default email application and remember my choice 2008R2 remote desktop server

I have 2008R2 Remote Desktop Servers with Adobe Acrobat XI pro. When a new user tries to send a pdf via email, it pops up a message "How would you like to send this email" they have to pick "Default email application (Microsoft Outlook) and Remember my choice. Then the next time they try to send an email, the get a warning "This email will be sent using "Default email application (Microsoft Outlook)". Click on 'Change Preferences' to change your default account settings. They have to Click Do not Show this message again, and then continue. (actually I have a couple of users that have to go through this process Every time they sign on to the remote desktop server),
I downloaded the group policy adm pack and I can not find any settings to default this for a user.
Is there any group policy settings or a registry entry I can make on the remote desktop server to default these settings?
Thank you in advance

Distiller is a different product. The prefs should go under Adobe Acrobat.
BTW, are you familiar with the Admin Guide and the Pref Ref? Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home

Run only allowed application gpo and ie 11 on remote desktop server (terminal server)

I configured win 2008 R2 server as Remote desktop server (terminal server) and I have domain GPO that's applying to this server. when I configure "Run only specified Windows application" IE 11 does not work.
I have iexplore.exe as allowed application.
when new user profile is created it setup and user can open other listed application fine but soon as IE 11 launched the IE windows loads up and after about 15-20 seconds it closes.
if I remove the "Run only specified Windows application" policy then everything works fine.
I am trying to figure out if any other .exe I have to allow in order for this to work properly?
nothing in event viewer about ie crashing.

> "Run only specified Windows application"
Don't use this setting... This only restricts explorer.exe from
launching applications. If you manage to create a cmd file or open a
command prompt, this policy is useless.
Better switch to AppLocker :)

What is required to install in remote desktop server services - windows server 2008R2 for VMs internet access ?

Hi!
I have a lab with a hyper-v host with windows server 2012 R2 (in workgroup).
I have many vms since Windows Server 2003 including WS 2012 R2.
My colleagues an I wan't to acess lab vms from desktop (windows 7 e 8) trought the internet.
My understanding this can be accomplished with remote desktop server services. What I need minimum
to install in version Windows Server 2008 R2 sp1 (enterprise edition) 64 Bits ? Best Regards
Best regards

you need a small VM, 2-4GB RAM that's internet facing in order to host RDWeb role which runs on IIS. users connect to the web page portal and login, and can launch an RDP session to whatever VMs you have. this requires you to obtain RD CALs.
you can also go with the RDGateway route but it's somewhat more complicated, requiring certificates.
in either case, you need a server with specific port forwarding to the internet through whatever firewall/proxy you have and licensing to go along with it.
it's much easier to just setup a VPN in my opinion.

File associations not roamed using Remote Desktop Server 2012 R2 Standard

Hello everyone,
As the title mentions, some File Associations does not seems to roam on a RDS 2012 R2 server. We use the following configuration:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server(s)
Roaming Profiles to a user based network share
Delete cached copies of Roaming profiles [Computer GPO]
So there is no local stored profile after logoff.
Exclude directories in roaming profile [User GPO]
We only exclude "$Recycle.Bin" for testing. So all other profile settings (Local, LocalLow, Roaming) should be roamed.
With the above settings, some associations are, after logoff and logon not remembered. For example .pdf is always restored to MS Word even if Acrobat Reader is chosen as default program.
When we do not delete the cached copy of the Roaming profile [Computer GPO], the file associations are remembered after logoff and logon.
We did a little of research:
When changing the default application for PDF files to Acrorobat Reader, the setting for this user in the registry is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
Hash: BTWAFQFaLiw=
ProgId: AcroExch.Document.11
After logging off, the NTUSER.DAT for this users does contains the same settings. I guess the settings are successfully roamed to the shared roaming folder.
But after login, the settings are set back to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice
Hash: mj3iGjB82bU=
ProgId: AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j
My suggestion is these settings are not restored in the cached roaming profile.
Someone who recon this and knows if there is a solution for this issue?
Using a Association Configuration File (DISM) with the Computer GPO Setting "Set a default association configuration file", we can set the default program for the users. But this is a global Computer GPO setting and not all users must have the same
default programs.
Using this setting is no option for our environment.
Hope Someone can help us.

Hi,
For this you can make one separate group for all that users and applied the policy setting which you want to setup. But as per me, windows uses the Local and LocalLow folders for application data that does not roam with the user. Usually this data is either
machine specific or too large to roam. Maybe your thought would be a workaround.

Can Photoshop CS4 be deployed on Windows remote desktop server?

I tried installing Photoshop extended CS4 on a Windows Remote Desktop server (Windows 2008 R2 64bit) and it said it requires at least Windows XP or Vista 64bit as the OS requirement. I can either continue or quit. Can someone verify if this product can be deployed in RDS enviroment?
Thanks

Mark:
Thanks for the input. It worked. Interestingly, I first tried installing CS5 but the install just stopped. I then tried CS4 and it installed without trouble. For CS5, I have a downloaded copy of the software; for CS4, I have an actual physical DVD. I may explore this issue further at some later point. For now, having CS4 run is quite sufficient for testing and evaluation.
I realize that using thin clients will impose some amount of performance penalty, but my expectation is that the overall performance will be acceptable for most user tasks most of the time. I take it from your post this has been your experience. I will still provide a stand-alone machine for the small number of projects where the application is taxing the limits of the computer, and any limitations imposed by Remote Desktop are not acceptable.
Certainly, the software needs to be properly licensed, which Adobe is more than happy to provide. Through the thin client approach I hope to eliminate the maintenance and management headache of maintaining multiple, essentially identical, machines. And, I hope to reduce (by some small percentage) power costs.
We'll see how it goes...

Crystal Report unable to print out throught Remote Desktop from server

Dear All Expert,
I am facing problem when print a crystal report layout from SAP B1 8.8 through Remote to Server, print to Client machine. It will promt out Error Message "thunking spooler apis from 32 to 64 process has stopped working fix", but if print PLD, then it is work. Any Idea? Client machine using Windows 7 facing this problems, earlier using windows XP is fine. Thanks a lot.

Hi Gordon,
fyi, I have Turn Off UAC for the client machine (Win 7 32 bit), do the checking from command prompt (srf/scannow), uninstall the printer driver and reinstall the correct printer driver for server (windows server 64 bit), client machine (win7 32 bit), reboot the machine. Do the setting from internet option > Advance>
1. Allow active content fro CDs to run on My Computer*
2. Allow active content to run files on My Computer*
3. Allow software to run or install even if the signature is invalid.
But all of the above could not resolve the problem happen. It happen only print SAP B1 8.8 crystal report layout. Others PLD layout is able to print. Please Advice.

Printing locally from remote desktop not working

i have a client who recently upgraded his computers from xp to win7. he has a multi store quickbooks pos setup where he has to log in to a remote desktop connection onto a server in another store. he used to just login and run his reports and
then print them locally. since the upgrade, he has not been able to do this. the work around i found was to keep the xp laptop just for printing reports. well, now he is separating from the other store and going out on his own. he needs
to run some reports and save them to the local machine in order to bring the databases to his store. first, i need to know how to make the win 7 computer print the reports locally, so that he can run them (the xp laptop crashed). second, i need
to know how to copy the files onto his local computer (in server 2008 i can drag and drop them, not in 2003).
the win 7 is 64 bit, the server 2003 is 32. i tried installing the print drivers locally onto the server, but it's the wrong architecture. i also tried installing the 32 bit drivers onto the win 7 machine, same thing. i found several things
to try, but really need to get this fixed asap. when i try to install the printer, it shows up, and adds just fine. i am really having a fit here.
the copying thing is an absolute must also. i may be able to get by without the print issue fixed, but would like to know what happened just for my own information. thanx in advance.

Hi,
Firstly you can check whether print spooler service is not stopped. Also ensure that printer driver is compatible\supported by Windows 7 and by server. If you are using printer redirection then might happen that it’s not configure properly. The client must
have enough permission and also check client requirement for printer redirection (RDP 6.1 or above, .Net 3.5or above).
More information:

Five reasons printer redirection causes Windows printing problems in RDS
For this can you describe little more”second, i need to know how to copy the files onto his local computer (in server 2008 i can drag and drop them, not in 2003).” Do you want to copy from remote session to local computer?
Hope it helps!

RDP users with Printer redirection enabled, cause Terminal Server 2008R2 to hang for about 10 seconds

We have several 2008R2 Terminal Servers with roughly 40 users working on each of them. Everytime a user logs on or off with printer redirection enabled in his RDP client (we use the Easy print feature), all other users experience a freeze of
10 seconds on that server. Needless to say, this behaviour of the server is not acceptable. We searched all of Google and implemented and tested every proposed solution, including the registry additions to the lanman part but all with no effect. Can anyone
provide us with a possible solution? It would be immensely appreciated!

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Once user is successfully log on, can able to print the document easily?
Which version of client OS & RDP using for your environment?
Initially I would like you to try installing latest RDP 8.1 if you are using Windows 7 and if using Windows XP then please use RDP 7. In addition check .Net Framework 3.5 or higher installed. Apart as Bruno suggested, please check the latest driver installed
on RDS server. Also check the Event log for any information. For more detail, refer below article.

HP LaserJet M1132 MFP does not print from a remote desktop

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet M1132 MFP (product number CE847A) connected to a PC (MS Windows XP Home Edition + SP3) via USB. There is no problem with the printer. However, when the connection using Remote Desktop (it's set to use local facilities and resources, or in my case, printers, and serial ports) to the server (MS Windows Server 2008 R2), I can not even print a test page from a remote desktop.
Error message: "Print a test page failed. Do you want to display a tool to solve problems with printing to get help?"
But it does not lead to nowhere, as expected is access to the internet, and I have not it from a MS Windows Server 2008 R2.
The same error is for the HP LaserJet M1120n MFP.
I have installed on my PC other printer - old OKI ML321 (needle) connected to a PC using LPT cable and network printer Konica Minolta 1690MF (in another room). In both of these printers can easily print a test page from a remote desktop.
Please help me.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you for your interest.
The situation is a bit different than the picture. Windows Server 2008 R2 is available through the WAN. LAN is plugged into the PC-1, PC-2 and Konica Minolta printer. HP LaserJet M1120n MFP is connected via USB to the PC-1. OKI ML 3320 printer is connected via LPT also to the PC-1. PC-1 has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 also has access to Konica Minolta printer via the LAN. PC-2 is also available for PC-1 HP and OKI.
It seems to me that I found the explanation for the printing problems - some of "my" printers are simply not compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I found on the net the following information:

Printers print garbage in remote desktop section

When conected in a remote desktop section with the Windows Server 2008, all the printing work from oulook, words, and explorer are send to the printer very slow and all it prints is garbage.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
At this time, I need to confirm the following points with you.
1. Is TS Easy Print function used on Windows Server 2008?
2. If we just print a text file from Notepad, what will happen?
3. Is the problematic printer hosted on the client?
4. Is there any error message in the Event Log?
If TS easy print function is used on Windows Server 2008, please try to install the appropriate printer driver on TS server and disable the following policy setting, then verify if this issue will occur.
Use Terminal Services Easy Print printer driver first
Thanks,
Miles

Audio Redirection and Remote Desktop Web Access

I recently deployed a 2012r2 Remote Desktop solution. I have a collection published for remote desktop sessions and have configured it to allow all redirection shown in the interface. However when users connect through Web Access, they do not get audio recording
redirection.
Is there a way to enable this through Remote Desktop Web Access?

Hi,
Glad to hear that it is up now. Please keep us informed when the issue is resolved.

Can't access SSL-secured web content from Remote Desktop Server

I am running RDS on Windows Server 2008R2. No Remote App or Gateway Services, just straight up Remote Desktop.
After making a RDP connection to the server, when trying to access any SSL-secured website, Internet Explorer displays the error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" with a button labeled "Diagnose Connection Problems." It's the same generic
IE message that appears when DNS lookups fail. This failure to make SSL connections also manifests itself with Exchange autodiscover not working.
Strangely enough, Administrator is able to make SSL connections just fine, just not any other users. The server is otherwise completely functional.

Hi cyborganic,
To narrow down this issue, Would you like to confirm the following questions:
1.
Does this issue exist when accessing all secured web sites or just some of them? Please try to access
https://www.microsoft.com.
Does it work?
2.
Does this issue exist when a user logs on to the console of the problematic server and then access a secure web site? In this way, we can isolate whether the problem is related
to RDS.
3.
You mentioned that administrator can access properly. As a test, can a problematic user be able to access the SSL site properly if you add him/her to the Administrators group
temporarily?
Meanwhile, Please help to make sure the “Cryptographic services” is set to Automatic Start.
Here, There are some suggestions for
General troubleshooting

Thankyou
